The invention relates to a catalyst which using N-doped porous carbon as a carrier to support metal. The catalyst is composed of 0.1wt%-30wt% of metal particles and 70wt%-99.9wt% of bio-N-doped porous carbon carrier, and can be used for catalyzing aqueous phase hydrogenation of bio-furfural to highly selectively prepare furfural alcohol or cyclopentanone. The catalyst uses the raw materials which are renewable resources, wide in distribution, green and environmental, simple and easy to obtain, rich in resource, low in cost, free from inactivation when recycled for more than 50 times, and stable to air, water and heat. For example, in reaction of catalyzing the hydrogenation of the furfural to prepare the furfural alcohol, conversion rate of the supported metal catalyst can reach 100% and selectivity of the furfural alcohol is larger than 99% in an aqueous phase system.
